Aleks Pavlović puts in extra shifts with special guest Thomas Müller

While the majority of his teammates are currently away on international duty, Aleksandar Pavlović has no intention of putting his feet up during what should be a training-free period. The midfielder, who isn't yet fit enough to be called back up to the national team after suffering an eye socket fracture at the start of the season, completed some extra shifts at FC Bayern's training ground on Wednesday - and chose a very special sparring partner for the occasion.

Alongside reserves player Felipe Chavez, Thomas Müller once again visited Säbener Straße and took part in the session. The 35-year-old, who moved to the Vancouver Whitecaps in the North American MLS after his contract with the German record champions expired, is also currently keeping fit in Munich during the international break.
